About Wingham Primary School

Wingham Primary School is a state primary in the Dover area of Kent, currently operating close to its full capacity of 210 pupils with 202 on roll. The school’s intake reflects a slightly higher-than-average level of disadvantage for the area, with 18.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23%. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 86 applications for just 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of nearly 3:1. Of those, only 16 first-preference offers were made, meaning that securing a place here is competitive and families living further from the school gates may need to consider their alternatives carefully. The school is mixed-sex and non-denominational, with no nursery or sixth form provision, so it serves a straightforward primary-age cohort from 4 to 11.
